About This Item
Dept. of the Navy, 2003. Hardcover. Very Good. 6x2x9. Volume 3. Hardcover and dust jacket. Good binding and cover. Shelf wear. Clean, unmarked pages. xlvi, 874 pages : illustrations ; 26 cm. <br> "Focuses on the Chesapeake Bay, the Northern Lakes, and Pacific Ocean theaters of operation during the last two years of the way, 1814-1815. In each of these three theaters, a U.S. naval force found itself confronting a superior British naval force. Blockaded in tributaries by a significant British squadron, Commodore Joshua Barney's gunboat flotilla held out for ten weeks, engaging in several pitched battles, until Barney ordered its destruction. Barney's sailors then became foot soldiers and maintained the nation's honor in facing the red-coated foe marching on Washington, when other troops broke and ran at the battle that wits derided as the 'Bladensburg Races.'
